About Me


Maryanna is:
--- a music therapist
--- a singer
--- a mediocre guitar player
--- a songwriter
--- a wannabe piano player
--- perpetually sarcastic
--- painfully self-critical
--- incapable of drinking coffee from any type of mug without spilling it on herself.
--- ever regretful that her jazz musician parents moved to houston (of all places?) instead of staying on the east coast and raising her there
--- hence, so running away to the east coast as soon as humanly possible
--- FINALLY making a record. for real this time. it's being produced by andrew futral of the age of rockets. who, if you haven't listened to yet... well, that's sad.
HEY FRIEND REQUESTERS,
if you are a band and you want to be friends, please send me a message. i like to network and meet musicians from all over but i do not love to meet people who are just looking to grow their numbers and then send out twelve thousand bulletins a day and advertise for their shows in italy on my page in texas. fair? yes? so... just message me. and then let's be friends! but the kind that communicate! i'll even share my feelings if you really want to know them! i can't imagine why you would! but i will keep typing sentences ending in exclamation points until i understand!
what?
